New Budgie ISO and system tray. What happened?

Entomical_Cynegetic

SethStorm666 Thx for clarify it!. Could it be that the issue is only related to those apps (Redshift, Psensor and Lutris)?
As mentioned, I didn't have such problem in previous installments...

Entomical_Cynegetic I just tried it on gnome, both redshift and psensor doesnt provide tray icon. In progress to confirm it on fedora and arch. maybe our package is old or broken.

The ones I use seem fine on Solus Budgie installed yesterday

But now that you mention it I tried enabling the system tray feature in Lutris settings, and you're right it doesn't show. I don't use system tray for Lutris usually just wanted to confirm

EbonJaeger

Newer Budgie Desktop migrated to a newer, updated standard for tray items. Unfortunately, some applications still only use an old version of the standard/libraries.

EbonJaeger Thx at least we getting somewhere!!
Happy to hear that discontinuity of system tray feature was a false alarm.

alfisya

yeah, even on fedora and arch both of them doesn't have tray icon

If the Redshift icon no longer appears in the taskbar, the application remains active, provided that you launch the geoclue2 service at session startup, as indicated in this post of @Staudey dated 07/29/2023:

That said, there is a good alternative to Redshift, it's the Budgie Night Light applet.

budgie applet is not autostart yet that's why I ditched it. Josh said at BofB it's now on the make-it-happen list.
Many times redshift is not using geolocation and will default to xrandr. Don't know exactly how that works.
you are right it can be active an not be in the tray, and it can be active and be in the tray, it's weird that way.

I've read a bajillion redshift create-a-.conf-file stories and none of them worked.

REDSHIFT PRO-TIP I just learned:
1) after system boots simply terminal: redshift -O 3200 (or wherever you like it). Instant bliss.
and
2) budgie autostart command: : redshift -O 3200 (or wherever you like it)

penny-farthing also someone told me you could write a script to start the budgie night light and make that an autostartup script but I have no idea how to achieve this

I don't know who said that to you, but I don't know how to do this too.

What I did:

I installed the applet Night Light,
then, I made a left click on the icon of the Night Light applet situated on the middle of the lower tasks bar,
a window appeared and I activated the night light and customized the display settings like below, and that's it!

I am running a fully updated Budgie with night light in the Tray and it works as intended. Sorry it is in the Tray so it autostarts with no commands. 🙂

Incredible. I never got the tray ever...or regular bootup autostart even when activated in settings from 5am to 4:59am coverage. wonder what we are doing different?

craigtoyoracer

brent I have Top Panel added Night Light. Open from the tray -> set temp. -> time 6pm 700am -> turn on. Done 🙂

I was just looking at that and yes it works as intended.

Axios

craigtoyoracer Yup the same.

Axios @craigtoyoracer

busy day. I have one last hour to monkey around tonight and I chose to muck about in xfce after a few days off...

HYPOTHESIS:

1) the widget was the reason it worked (I never added it)
OR
2) Josh and Co. fixed it and announced it and I haven't kept up with the BoB stuff....he told me that no nightlight autostart was an upstream gnome issue they were trying to hammer out

or Both.
Will try it tomorrow. Excited. It is a lot heavier-handed than redshift with the gamma and the red tint and I did get used to it.

penny-farthing I'm done with questions now, I've seen the light! If 2 forum posters tell me they have 24/7 budgie nightlight protection automatically than you've made me a believer. thank you for the pic and confirmation
